Rock am Ring is a festival that aims to be open to all fans equally. For years, we have been working to make Rock am Ring as accessible as possible. From 2025 onwards, together with Inklusion Muss Laut Sein, we will reduce hurdles and barriers for visitors with a wide variety of disabilities and establish a reliable standard. This effort applies not only to the design and production of the festival grounds but also to how we interact with each other during the event. Alongside the usual measures, we also rely on your help to make the festival experience even better for everyone.
If you hold a regular festival ticket and a disability ID with one of the following designations (B, G, aG, H, BL), you meet the basic requirements for camping in the rockAbility area.
The space at rockAbility Camping is limited, so you can camp there with up to three friends, including your carer. A prerequisite is that you all arrive in one vehicle together. Friends arriving later cannot be accommodated.
People with the designations B or H in their disability ID can order tickets for themselves and a carer for Rock am Ring by calling the hotline at +49 421 353 638. Fans from countries that do not have such letter designations in their disability ID can contact specialneeds@rock-am-ring.com with any questions about camping. If their disability or chronic illness corresponds to a recognised designation in Germany, they will, of course, be treated equally. All enquiries will be handled with complete confidentiality.
If you need to bring medication that requires refrigeration onto the festival grounds, please register this in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangements. A refrigeration facility will be available in the paramedic area. You can register your medical aids at specialneeds@rock-am-ring.com.
If you have diabetes or allergies, you are allowed to bring your pen onto the grounds and infield. Please inform security that you require the pen, as not everyone is familiar with the issue.
For prescription medication that falls under narcotics regulations (e.g. cannabis or substitutes), please bring a prescription from your treating doctor. Over-the-counter medications that do not require refrigeration or special storage do not need to be registered.
Wheelchair-accessible toilets are located at several points throughout the festival grounds. These will be marked on the site map, which will be published shortly before the festival. During the event, signs with directions will be placed around the grounds. Additionally, you can always ask on-site staff for assistance.
Concerts on the Utopia Stage can be watched from the roof of the pit lane. The lift for barrier-free access is located opposite the Medical Centre. Space is limited, and mutual consideration is important. You can bring one carer with you. In general, if the area is full, it is full. For your own safety, no additional people will be admitted once the limit is reached.
All other stages also have barrier-free sanitary facilities and wheelchair platforms.
If you or someone in your group is feeling unwell, please approach our on-site paramedics. The security staff can also be contacted in case of a medical emergency. They will ensure that you receive prompt and safe assistance.
